Summary of the data presented in Figs. 4–10. For the four types of synthetic data with different tissue contrast (different absorbers, BVF, scatter amplitude, and scatter slope) as well as the colon and breast data; and the simulated breast data, the mean improvement in overlap coefficient relative to the unprocessed data is depicted per preprocessing algorithm. Preprocessing algorithms from the same category have a similar color. For the colon, the improvement in the overlap coefficient shown is the average of the improvement for each of the combinations of tissue classes.
